Sir
I herewith return the documents in support of the claim of the Heirs of Nathaniel Tracy dec d . under the act of June 7. 1832, they being insufficient to authorise the admission of the same. If the dec d . left a widow, the amount due up to the time of his death belongs to her, if she left no widow or she be dead, to the children of the deceased, and if no child or children, then to the legal representatives of the deceased. — A widow claiming, must prove before a court of record her relationship to the deceased, & show the period of his death. Children must also prove before a court of record that the deceased left no widow or that she be dead, also the day when the day when the deceased died, and that they are the children of the deceased, and

only children. A certificate of the facts proved may be obtained from the clerk of the Court under his seal of office. The clerk must be very particular in certifying the day on which it appeared that the deceased died. The papers which are herewith returned should accompany the documents herein required when sent to this office.
